Knuckles would without out fail go and visit Granny Smith's grave along with his other grandparents graves."I feel as if this wedge between my family is caused by me........would it have been better if I died during birth or my mother's pregnancy? When I am of age I'll ease the pain from my aunts and mother.........I'm gonna join the army." 

------------------------------------------------------------

Knuckles now eighteen told his parents he had enlisted into Celestia's Ranks. He said that one day he hoped that the sisters could reunite again once he was out of the picture. Big Mac and Star tried to talk him out of the choice but it was too late. 

It was now three years and Snowflake and Shining Armor barged in, "Star have you seen Holly!"

"No I haven't.........not since mother and father's last Hearth's Warming Eve, what's happened?" 

"She's gone!" After some searching they found that she had Joined Luna's half of the Equestia army.

The two sisters poked around in their fathers study and found his journal. In it every event that he foresaw was written in it to the very things they said. They looked and nodded in agreement that it should be burned, this knowledge could make them make different choices. The book was burned and Snowflake and Star hugged and cried and got caught up. Shining and Big Mac sat outside and remembered their youthful days........especially when they did the "Running of the Leaves" run and how they got smoked on the trail.

On The Base

Knuckles arrived at the base and it was bustling, so many ponies were running trying to catch up with their squads. He found his squad, it was an unusual bunch; he saw playing around with a laptop, one pegaus insisted on hovering above everypony else, he just stood there waiting for orders. The three ponies finally acknowledged his existence. 

"Hi, I'm Lenova up there is Sky Eye.........and you are?" 

He nervously shuffled a hoof,  "I'm Knuckles Mac Shadow, long name I know the other two parts of my name are a combo of my parents' names. Who's our commanding officer?"

Sky Eye spoke up, "Some whore named Makita." knuckles and Lenova looked at each other awkwardly, they saw a group of officers marching their direction; Sky Eye was still talking trash.

Before Knuckles could warn him a pony with a cyborg body slammed into him and left a rut in the muddy ground. Lenova snickered and went silent when the mare looked at her. "Sky Eye, I pray to Celestia and Luna you remember me don't ya?" he nodded and moaned. She continued to speak, "I am Captain Makita, you speak if I speak to you, if you everything I say it'll be good for your life expectancy. If you don't you'll" she paused, "regret it. Now recruits grab your shit and let's get you to your barracks! Damn it Sky on your fucking feet and march!" They marched double time to their barracks, once inside the squad dropped their pack on the floor. 

"Okay recruits hand over any electronics you have, phones laptops and anything else; you can keep it if it is a medical device! Now move. Knuckles handed his phone over, Sky Eye did the same, Lenova begged and pleaded and cried; she couldn't live without her laptop.

"Please ma'am, I can't!" Two Pegasi stallions jeered:

"Come on and hand her the damned thing cunt, you're holding up progress!" Makita froze whipped around and tackled the stallion who spoke.

"Name, rank and seriel number soldier! Now, damn you!"

"Cockburn Private seriel number is #345039504!"

"Well Private, let me lay it clear. You do not fucking talk unless spoken to, you respond with respect and decently. If you don't you get deciplined and the whole squad with you........got it bitch!" He nodded and stood up, Lenova sniffled and slowly relinquished her $6000 laptop. 

Makita stared at the unicorn, the poor thing looked like she was about to bawl again. All heads turned when the General stepped in.

"Captain I bring you a tardy recruit."

"Thank you General Tannarrite, sir!" The recruit as a dragon, a sleek black one with Sapphire colored wings and horns. Her Jade colored eyes glared.

"Private Sapphire welcome to Alpha 1 squad." Sapphire just nodded. Knuckles hd never seen a dragon up close before. Her muscular body was well toned and the way the light hit it, it glistened like black jewels. The first thing they did was lined up to receive standard issued rifles  their side arms were picked upon preference. Knuckles picked a Desert Eagle 44 magnum semi-auto pistol. He was issued a semi-automatic 30 caliber M1 Garand rifle. The one called Cockburn befriended another pegasus named flytrap picked revolvers. Lenova picked a Walther PPQ with a match trigger. Sky Eye picked a Taurus PT 24/7 pro. And Sapphire picked a FN Five-Seven.

They were taken to the barracks to clean their guns. "You will clean your pieces and make them spotless. If I find one gun not to standards for being clean you will run a 5k. Speak anything crude or crass that will be a whole week of being up all night coupled with every PT test scheduled in the and it will be hell I assure you!" 

That night after having to run the 5k because Flytrap left grease in the chamber. Knuckles lay on his bed, and on each side of lay Sapphire with her Jade colored cat eyes staring at the ceiling, Lenova in her bunk sniffled  and Sky Eye lay in the bunk above him snoring. Makita had been replaced for the night by a lieutenant that was of the unicorn race and he was tough. 

The next morning at the range Makita was training them in the use of their guns. She had given blank rounds and the training was going smoothly. That is until Cockburn whipped around and barrel-swept the whole line of recruits and his gun discharged in Makita's face.

"Stupid cunt! You're damn lucky I have you a blank round, you could've blown my face off! Alpha 1 Squad lay down your pieces and give me ten laps around the base........move!" When the run was finished they were back on the line and firing. Makita had already developed favorites. 

It was nine months and they finished training. Flytrap and Cockburn caused hell because they kept talking about how they wanted to fuck Lenova, Makita and Sapphire. But Makita made sure they went through hell.

> Chapter 2: 9 Months of Hell

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------


Our first week was spent on cleaning our barracks and uniforms and our weapons as well. Makita was very nit picky, the slightest wrinkle was an automatic ten laps around the base with full gear. Disrespect was an automatic gorging on food and then an excessive amount of exercise thus causing the offender to vomit his food and then makita would drag them through their own vomit. If you lied to her, she'd beat thw living hell outta you. In case in point, she caught Lenova on a burner phone texting her parentds, "Who's phone is this?" Makita's voice boomed in the mess hall. All eyes turned to our squad table, we all denied it was ours, but Lenova didn't make eye contact.

"Lenova, is this........your.......damned phone?" Lenova denied it. "Alright Alpha 1, one your damned hooves and march outside! Move damn it!" we all double time marched into the now pouring rain. "One of you is lying, instead of pounding shit out of you give me thirty laps around the base. Run bastards, run!!"

We started running there were a couple of us cursing, but the rest of us kept quiet. I turned my head after we finished lap three, Makita had joined us." Come on recruits twenty-seven laps more. If you claim the phone now it'll all end now.  So speak up!" 

After fifteen laps and Lenova was running kinda limping after twisting her right front ankle. Crying the whole time and and she looked really miserable and kinda cute all the while. She collapsed from exhaustion and pain. 

" Captain Makita, ma'am...........the phone is mine, I got home sick and texted my parents. They never responded." we all expected her to curse her out and kick her around a few times. 

Makita leaned down, "I knew it was yours."

"if you knew, why not punish me outright?" 

"I wanted to give you a chance to be honest, I was given each of you not by mistake; but by my own choice. All of you have struggles and if you let me in I can help. I'm sorry they didn't respond, but rules are rules and we need to follow them." With that said she lifted Lenova out of the mud and hugged her. 

Makita sounded genuine enough, but she looked at knuckles with a look of sadness. It was a look of sympathy and she had the look of one who had been what he had been through. 

A day came where the recruits had the time to make one phone call home. Knuckles saw that Lenova hadn't lined up but cried at a table alone. Knowing her situation Knuckles wnet up to Makita, "Ma'am, can I have thirty extra minutes?" 

"Why recruit? Pray do tell?" 

"It's Lenova ma'am, she doesn't really have anypony to call, so the extra time for to make a call?" 

"permission granted." Makita brought Lenova over and Knuckles let his folks know what was up. Lenova had the best phone call she ever had in her life. 

"I wish Knuckles' parents were mine as well, they actually care!" 

That night Knuckles snuck out of the barracks and sat in the cool night air, it was his mother's birthday and he wasn't there.........had he made a bad decision? As he thought of it he heard hoof steps behind him; whipping around he saw Capt. Makita walking towards him. "Shouldn't you be in your bunk recruit?" her tone was sharp or harsh like it was or has been it carried a more motherly tone. 

Knuckles coward, sneaking out of your barracks past curfew was punishable by a hell hike. "Y-Y-Yes ma'am........I just needed to think about stuff." whilst talking he turned toward the sky looking at the stars. Makita motioned to a bench placed outside of the barracks door way.

"Putting formalities aside, what's bothering you?" 

"Makita.....ma'am, its mother's birthday and I'm not there with her. Its a long story, but in short; I'm the product of a three night weekend sex run by my parents and technically I'm their bastard son, and my mother, and my two aunts relationship fell apart. The grief killed all of my grandparents. So, here I am in the army and feeling like I'm not worth much."

" Well Knuckles, I'm in a similar pickle, illigenament like you, my dad had an affair. You can say my biological mom is more serrogate stepmom role.......turned eighteen joined the army. That's how I met Sky Eye, it was supposed to be a recon mission, but the poor fool wondered into a minefield. I rescued him, and kinda had bits of me flying around. At that time, Lenova was facing charges for hacking Castle security, but lucky us, she saw my damaged body roll into the hospital. She begged a pardon from Celestia on the premise that if she got me field ready she'd be pardoned. The little bitch built this body to be fully functional and combat ready; who knew a little mare like her could pack enough heat that if I wanted to do it, I could wipe out a police precont by myself. Also I've had to bury both parents, grandparents and a little sister, all because our gas line had a leak, and I had to light the stove..........damn it! It should've been me who died. Twice my life should've ended but hasn't and I fucking want to know why?"

Knuckles sat in silence, it donned on him that his whole squad had a bunch of issues and why Makita was being so tough because she didn't want them to just give in, but to fight to be better." Makita..........it feels wierd not using your rank but, why you survived maybe put here and now to save us from ourselves. Lenova is glued to a laptop it's the only thing she knows, she had told me her parents had wanted a son and gave birth to her instead and weren't thrilled so they ignore her. Sky Eye you rescued and he doesn't know who his mother is, so to him you're the closest thing he has. Flytrap is a follower and he has potential to be a leader. Sapphire has a hate that's festering but you may be able to help her release it. Cockburn............I have no idea why he is so perverted. It grosses me out hearing him say what sex act he'd wanna try on Lenova, you and Sapphire. In the mess Hall I heard joke about fucking a mare from your night squad.........isn't that where you should be by now? "

With a laugh Makita gave him a jab in the arm and told him in a mock of her more serious voice," After my insubordinate recruit gets back to his bunk! So help Celestia I'll make you dig a hole strait to Tartarus with a plastic spoon!"

With a chuckle he walked into the barracks l, but before he stepped in, he looked back at Makita, "Thanks for the talk Captain, I needed it." So Makita went to torment her night squad.

> Chapter 3: Searching

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------


Holly Berry heard that her cousin Knuckles had joined Celestia's ranks, for being blind, her other sense were keen as a razer. It had been a few months since the ponies of Ponyville talked about it. She trudged up to the table to sign in. Your squad leader and commanding officer is Captain Makita for your night training, but for now it's gonna be General Tannerite. When she joined her sqaud, some of them were seeming apprehensive and she saw why. Tannerite had his aide-de-camp by his side and one of his wings was stroking her body and she looked uncomfortable to say the least. First thing he did when they got to their barracks was unpack their things. He handed each pony a Colt® 1911 .45 ACP. then he issued them a bolt action rifles.

As she began cleaning her guns, Tannerite walked past, no brushed up against her body and she felt his wing touch the inside of her leg. She shuddered. When they had their guns clean, except one mare missed a smear of grease, Holly could smell the grease from all of the guns, but that smudge put off a more concatenated odor.

"What's your name, rank, and serial number?" Gen. Tannerite ordered.

The mare timidly replied, "My name is Sunrise, my rank is private, and my serial number is #49589028........sir."

"You left a damned large glob of grease in the chamber. You stupid bitch can't you do anything right! If you can't clean any better, all you're good for is breeding! You got that? You little whore!" Holly Berry could feel the air around her shimmy as Sunrise trembled." To each all of you a lesson! Sunrise here will be an example!"

Holly Berry didn't need to see what was going on, she hear, feel and smell that Tannerite just kicked the mare down and was raping her and she heard the mare fighting back. She also heard a few slaps. When he had finished raping the poor mare he kicked her in the ribs with an excessive amount of force and Holly heard those ribs crack. "You! Name?"

"I'm.........I'm.......I'm Strawberry" the mare squeeked out from the terror watching a mare get raped just four feet from her. 

"Clean my cock off.......you heard me use that pretty mouth of yours and lick every drop of my semen and her fluids off! Miss a drop and you're next!" she obeyed crying the whole time. 

In their mess hall she noticed that a lot of the officers ate with their squads, but Tannerite did as well but he acted as if the reason why Sunrise looked the way she was that somepony had beat her up.

Two weeks past and General Tannerite would molest various mares in the squad, the weaker ones were treated like trash, the stronger were ones doted on. The mares were taken on a twenty-four hour hike in the woods, they came to a steep hill with a fifteen percent grade incilne consisting of gravel and loose rock. Each mare packed a pack weighing in at 250 pounds, Holly grimaced at the sheer weight of it, looking back she saw that Sunrise would struggle the whole way. Once they covered twenty hours of the hike they came to their hill, completely worn out they began to climb. Holly Berry looked back and saw Sunrise neat the bottom of the hill struggling and stumbling. General Tannerite was at her side yelling, "Hurry up damn it! If you don't make this hike you'll never be worth anything at all!" as he yelled and swore at her he'd strike her with a stick from the trail floor.

Sunrise hit the gravel, and General Tannerite bent down and bit her left ear lifting her to her feet; she fell once again. With her left ear bleeding, he began laying in hits. Finally Sunrise rose up and began climbing three quarters of the way up she fell back to the base of the hill. General Tannerite stormed towards her bit her right ear and flipped her onto her back. "I'm sorry General Tannerite, sir I can't make it" tears streaming down her bruised face, "this pack is too heavy for, please all I ask is just a short break for water? I need to get something in my system it is out of carbs and protein. At our current pace I've burned what I had eaten twenty hours."

General Tannerite spat on her and gave a few good hits. He bit down on her pack as she gasped for breath from exhaustion. As he dragged her back to the base she was now covered in cuts and bruises. Sunrise was a bloodied mess." Alright recruits March to the showers, and you Sunrise..........hurry it up cunt!" with that he kicked her a few times and walked off.

Sunrise made it to the showers and the scene that met her eyes was horrendous to say the least. Tannerite and five other officers had picked mares and were forcing them to have sex. 

She wanted out but her enlistment contract said she'd serve for ten years. There was no way in hell she'd make it that long. Finally cleaned up she was ignored by the officers and Tannerite because she was considered weak and not worth their time. That night outside of her barracks she noticed a bat pony talking to his commanding officer.......and noticed a few playful jabs. She was envious why couldn't their squad be joined with that squad and have an officer who'd listen like that? The idea made her cry, life wasn't fair. From having parents and a family who disowned her and bounced from Foster him to foster home and now living with rock farmers; she had it rough l.

The hell she lived would be ending in a year. Until that time she'd just live and try to do better. Holly came and joined her, "Sorry for what happened today, I should've done something." 

"Don't be sorry there wasn't anything you could've done.........one day somepony will take Tannerite down, and it will be epic!"

The hell she lived would be ending in a year. Until that time she'd just live and try to do better. Holly came and joined her, "Sorry for what happened today, I should've done something." 

"Don't be sorry there wasn't anything you could've done.........one day somepony will take Tannerite down, and it will be epic!" Holly and Sunrise sat in silence and went into their barracks to rest for their night training.

Captain Makita walked into Bravo 2nd's barracks, the mares she noticed weren't sleeping like they should be....... something was off. Her cyborg eye did scans of the mares and it's readings showed high heart rates due to stress and also gave health stats of each mare. Her gaze fell upon Sunrise, who cowered in fear, afraid Makita was like General Tannarrite. "Okay recruits line up for role call." Makita yawned because she forgot to nap that afternoon. When she got to Holly she saw a resemblance that made her think of another bat pony that she was just talking to. "Okay recruits let's start with a slow jog around the base to get the blood flowing......." Studying her stats again, "cancel that jog recurits March!" They followed her lead to the nurse's station and there had the on the scene nurse at that time, Nurse Redheart.

"Corporal, these recruits need immediate inspections! My system ran a health scan and their heart rates are too high and they seem very stressed and my scanner is showing signs of dehydration and they haven't eaten enough to be able to make it through their training tonight. Holly and Sunrise looked at each other  an officer who cared about their well being? After a couple of hours results came back and Makita asked to be alone.

Turning to the mares,"You know what I'm gonna ask so here goes. Who raped all of you? Results show only some of you were, and some of you had gotten a beating that could've killed you. So give me a name........that's an order, I'm gonna investigate this and when I get enough evidence I'll have the princesses bring those bastards to justice."

Holly spoke up, "Private Holly Berry requesting permission to speak?"

"No need to ask permission with me for now."

"It was General Tannarrite and six other officers ma'am. Sunrise here got mauled on the trail because she wasn't physically strong enough to do it with the 250 pound pack we were forced to carry. Also on that twenty-four hour hike we drank no water or even ate anything.........to make it worse Sunrise begged for just a short break and Tannarrite almost killed her. And for the last four hours he dragged her like trash to the curb. If you can stop him, please stop him." Ad Holly told everything she saw for the last two weeks. Makita bristled   with rage, but now these mares needed her. So leading them to their barracks she sang them all to sleep and kept guard over them. But still Holly seemed familiar  then it hit her! Knuckles & Holly had the same eyes so that meant they were related! And they used similar mannerisms and had a similar speech pattern. But she didn't know if she should say anything. Her main focus was protecting these mares and any other recurits Tannarrite might rape or molest next. Her rage was burning, especially when look by her side at Sunrise who whimpered as she dreamed.

Makita's heart was breaking that so many officers had gotten away with these crimes, well now somepony will begin to take actions! If she lost her rank and was discharged, she will keep fighting.

When all the mares recovered enough to begin their night tactics training it was hard for all of them. Makita was a born tactician and she effectively trained each recruit in their strengths and remedied their weaknesses. Tannerite was under investigation so he had limited access to places on the base. Makita had sent photos to Captain Shining Armor for review and also statements from vaiorus mares. She needed a little more evidence to seal Tannerite's coffin.

Knuckles and Holly Berry saw each other from a distance but didn't recognise each other. Makita also sent a request to combine Alpha 1 and Bravo 2 squads and make them one unit. Her request was being reviewed, and Makita felt like she was begin to get what Knuckles meant a several nights ago. Flytrap had began opening up as well and started to spill his gutta. A lot of the recruits were, Makita though never was aother she had that instinct and tuition for such a task.

Touching really, but she was hell bent to destroy Tannerite and take him down. 

Holly in her last month finally past her pt test, among others like Sunrise and Strawberry; Holly felt like Captain Makita deserved to be promoted, she felt like that, that mare did all she could to make sure they were well nourished and hydrated. But she had no idea that hell was gonna break loose.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Holly was late getting to the showers and Makita had business to tend to. As Holly removed her muddy uniform and began cleaning up, she didn't hear hoof steps enter the shower house belonging to the mares. 

She turned when she saw a shadow tower over her. Whipping around Tannerite pinned her to the wall and began to caress her frame. Slipping on the wet tile they fell to the ground, trying to push him off seemed to make him a bit hornier, exhausted Tannerite began to rape her. When he was done with her, a time of two hours he got and shoved his cock into her mouth and let off another load just for fun. As he pulled out more of his sperm coated her face..........again. General Tannerite left her alone and walked out laughing. Holly got herself cleaned up and trudged to her barracks brushing past a bat pony who was quiet good looking with a couple of his squad mates talking about how sore they were from their hike and all the rocks they had to carry because a couple of their squad mates would shut up. Holly had no idea that her and her squad were about to be sent on a mission that'll kill a lot of the rape victims off and she will be needing therapy for a good long while.

Later thst night she couldn't sleep, so she went for a short stroll. She was beginning to feel some apprehension and she nervously looked around her, she was blind yes but her other senses kicked in. She felt the wind blow past her........there was a scent she didn't recognise and another she did. She suddenly felt something slam into her and she hit  the dirt with a thud. She caught the familiar scent up close........it was the same brand of cologn the General Tannerite used but she felt the body of a younger stallion........she couldn't believe it! She was gonna get raped the second time in one night, but this time she had no fight left in her, the first time had broken her will to fight. "Damn it Flytrap get that camera rolling" hissed a voice, "I wanna have a trophy of this night. Besides if you try to rat me out I'll kill ya you damned son of a whore!"

She heard the beep of a camera recording. The younger stallion did everything he could possibly do to degrade and make her feel dirty. Completely filled and soaked with his sperm she then was beaten to a badly bruised pulp and then raped all over again. "Cockburn do you think that she's had enough?" 

"Not until she's broken enough to tell me what I wanna hear!" Holly knew what he wanted to hear because Tannerite made her say the same thing. As her vision blurred from the pain and the tears her mouth felt Cockburn's dick in her mouth and filling it with his seed. Gagging she pulled her head back only to have his seed soak her face again..........she was completely broken and she found herself saying what he wanted to hear just to get this bit to end. 

"Keep going, I wanna be your little whore. I'll be the one to bring your foals into this world. Fill me up as much as you like." 

"She finally said it, let's get outta of here!" as the attacker and his camera pony fled the one she heard be called Cockburn kicked her a couple of more times. "See ya my little whore!" and he ran off laughing sadistically. 

Getting of the dirt covered in semen and dirt she trudged to the showers to get cleaned up. As she finished cleaning up she turned around and saw the mournful eye of Captain Makita. 

"They got ya didn't they? How many and who? I couldn't sleep because I felt something was wrong." 

"I can't say Captain Makita ma'am, but I just feel like I wanna be alone right now." Makita turned to leave but looked over her shoulder. 

"I was once where you stood, but my silence got more hurt than speaking out did." Makita walked out and Holly couldn't stand looking in the mirror while brushing her mane, the mare that looked back was a broken mare. She sat in the bath house and cried her heart out, her mother and father will be appalled and she figured if she told them they'd blame her for being alone at night. She felt so broken she considered breaking a mirror and cutting her self with a shard of glass, it was dawn and role call was made and Makita found that Holly wasn't there. Makita rushed to the bath house and tackled Holly before she could cut herself, the glass slid along her metal body harmlessly. "Holly Berry, you're worth more than that. I've got a big lead, I'll have Alpha 1 help retrieve an item and I will be able to get you justice, I swear it on my life! I won't let these bastards go free, besides don't you wanna see those cunts die?"

Holly nodded and got cleaned up and made role call.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Knuckles , I got to tell you something, here is a USB drive I made for cockburn he doesn't know I had made a copy I video recorded him raping a mare last night after Tannerite raped her..........if you want to kill me go ahead.........I deserve it. I was born for so much more and yet I let ponies tell me what to do. "

"You have already taken the first step you confessed l, but to me i have know clue." 

"Blind bat pony mare her squad is gonna be sent out as we speak if not earlier. The mission consists of all the rape victims if we can get Makita to clear the whole squad except Cockburn we may save em in time........I'm such a piece of shit. "

Knuckles slapped his head,"Damn it Flytrap you just began a path of redemption, let's talk to Makita." Makita followed protocol but to no avail, in anger she led her squad on the rescue mission anyways.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Holly and her squad marched through the woods and were having to cross through a swamp. They just crossed the swamp when it dawned on Holly, the squad that was sent were all rape victims! She uttered her fears and they all stopped dead in their tracks and looked at each other. Strawberry yelled a warning. "Ambush!!!!!"

Every mare raised their weapons as a whole battalion of griffins charged from the air and the dense foliage around them. Every mare was able to take cover and take aim...........every mare except Strawberry. They watched in horror as two griffins pinned her down and raped her then one of the griffins began to tear her apart. Her screams filled the air. Shots rang out as the mares fought for their lives. It was a bloody mess. Soon it was down to Sunrise and Holly back to back.

They ran out of ammunition and were using their pistols until Sunrise dropped her as three griffins dragged her away to be raped.......and Holly heard her screams. Suddenly she felt something slam into her leg and the bone shattered and she tried to drag herself to a dead squad mate to get their gun but was hoisted up and pushed up against a log and a spear was thrust into her abdomen. She heard two griffins, one at her head and the other was near her body. She felt them caress her and the other cpmmentoong5on how her mouth was perfect for his cock to fit and fill her mouth at the same time. 

As she thought she was gonna be raped again, she heard two masses fly past her head and tackle her would be rapists. The other three griffns who were raping Sunrise raised their guns and fired. Flytrap leapt in front of knuckles and returned fire. A stray bullet ricocheted off his gun and hit a tree; a large splinter of that tree hit knuckle's right eye and causing him to be blind. Makita and the others aimed their guns at the three griffins and any other living griffins breathing. After killing them all and they retrieved Sunrise they joined the others. 

Holly recognised Flytrap's scent. "That pony was there video taped me being raped!" Knuckles glared at Flytrap. 

"It's true Knuckles I was there, and everything I've told you is true........." Flytrap drew his revolver and slid it over to Holly, "if you want to, and I know I deserve it........use my gun and kill me.......all I ask if one day you will be able to forgive me for standing by and doing nothing." 

The squad watched to see what Holly would do. Damn it! Why couldn't she just pull the trigger? She heard the whole story and she couldn't just pull the trigger............."Flytrap, I can't just kill you, you saved my life and I can't just shoot you...........here take your gun, I forgive you no strings attached."

Lenova was being supported by Makita as they walked back to the base, one griffin fought with emptied a 12 gauge slug into her leg. As they neared the base, Flytrap had Sunrise and Knuckles had Holly Berry. "Knuckles, I gonna tell you, Cockburn and General Tannerite both raped me......and they both have trophies in the general's office, locks of every mare they raped and USB drives with videos, they told me they were adding my rape to their trophy collections."

The injured mares were interned into the sick hall, as the all the ponies stood there Lenova's parents showed up with all her stuff," We are disowning you, you are no longer our daughter; we prayed for a son and all we got is you! A mare with a criminal record and small and weak. Hope you die of your wound so we be rid of the shame you brought upon us!" the whole squad were in shock and Lenova just watched as her former-parents left her stuff thrown on the floor, you could see her eyes watering up and her lip quiver.........she was trying to be strong in front of her squad, but she finally broke down and cried. As Lenova cried her heart out Makita sat on the edge of the bed and wrapped a foreleg around her and let her cry on her shoulder. When the parents left Holly and Lenova saw knuckles eyes turn blood red, as Knuckles spun around both injured mares from their beds on either side of him tried to grab Holly from her recoiled, Lenova leapt as far as her wound would let her she hit the floor with a thud ribs breaking Knuckles was gone, and Flytrap flew after him. Lenova demanded for a cellphone. She dialed the only other number she knew.

"Hi, Star Shadow I need you ASAP, its Knuckles he just flew into a rage and his eyes are blood red! Holly and I couldn't stop........hurry damn it!" Star heard screams in the faint background, and Lenova & Holly with their squad mates still by their side heard carnage had begun.

> Chapter 6: Justice

The injured mares were interned into the sick hall, as the all the ponies stood there Lenova's parents showed up with all her stuff," We are disowning you, you are no longer our daughter; we prayed for a son and all we got is you! A mare with a criminal record and small and weak. Hope you die of your wound so we be rid of the shame you brought upon us!" the whole squad were in shock and Lenova just watched as her former-parents left her stuff thrown on the floor, you could see her eyes watering up and her lip quiver.........she was trying to be strong in front of her squad, but she finally broke down and cried. As Lenova cried her heart out Makita sat on the edge of the bed and wrapped a foreleg around her and let her cry on her shoulder. When the parents left Holly and Lenova saw knuckles eyes turn blood red, as Knuckles spun around both injured mares from their beds on either side of him tried to grab Holly from her recoiled, Lenova leapt as far as her wound would let her she hit the floor with a thud ribs breaking Knuckles was gone, and Flytrap flew after him. Lenova demanded for a cellphone. She dialed the only other number she knew.

"Hi, Star Shadow I need you ASAP, its Knuckles he just flew into a rage and his eyes are blood red! Holly and I couldn't stop........hurry to damn it!" Star heard screams in the faint background, and Lenova & Holly with their squadmates still by their side heard carnage had begun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flytrap chased Knuckles across the base to the officer's barracks, he was lagging behind Knuckles by a good twenty yards. Knuckles found his first target, a pegasus named Lt. Duststorm he tackled him, and tore his torso open and ripped the poor bastards intrils out and took a bone from the ribs and shoved it up to his ass as far as he could. Knuckles was now hunting a Corp. Sandstone am earth pony, he saw him with his squad training them on the line of the gun range. Knuckles crept up and drawing his 44 he began to bludgeon him to death. Sandstone barely breathing felt his Glock 17's suppressor shoved up his ass and being jerked around finally shoved down his throat and Knuckles pulled the trigger. Blood and brain matter splattered on the nearest recruits panicked. 

Next on Knuckles list was a unicorn named, Sgt. Maj. Whiplash. He found mark sharpening a knife in his rocking chair and smoking his pipe filled with a fine blend of tobacco and marijuana....... Knuckles ripped the knife out of the pony's hoof and stabbed him and dissected him like a lab rat. The other three were playing poker and they bet the cash they had so they had each a favourite mare they chained to the table and bet them instead of their watches. Knuckles landed on the table and drew his gun and shot every single one in the face and he set the mares free. Before he hunted Tannarrite he went to a unicorn captain, he cut him open and poured phosphorus and lit him up. Next was pegasus lieutenant, he took a full hack saw and sawed off the wings and then gave him shallow cuts and poured lemon juice and salt into the wounds; the final blow was Knuckles went and found a sledgehammer and he crushed the pony's head and body to a bloody piece of flesh. The last officer was an earth pony, he cut off his genitals and shoved them down his throat. The pony suffocated to death in his balls. He found Tannarrite, locked in a broom closet, he began banging his head into the wall.

He failed to notice Flytrap had been following him with a radio telling someone his location. He finally got to Tannarrite and he went to town on him.

He ripped off a fire leg and began to beat him with it. Next, he tore off an ear, Cockburn tried to save his dad; Knuckles tore that cunt to shreds with a full handheld garden rake from the base supply closet. The screams could have been heard from across the barracks. He cut Cockburn's dick off and shoved it into Tannarrite's ass hole. He next with a full steak knife cut Tannarrite's cock and rammed it multiple times down his throat before he left it in there. "How does it feel now bitch? How does it feeling like those mares you raped!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. He then applied phosphorus and lit it, the third-degree burn was deep and feeling kind he poured salt and lemon juice into the burn. Looking around he found industrial cleaner high in alcohol content and several other chemicals that would cause burns if not handled correctly. He poured a full gallon on the burn. Taking his knife he covered his body with cuts. Next, he found a mallet and he beat Tannarrite to a bruised mass. Knuckles then took the mallet to Tannarrite's spine causing paralysis. Next thing he knew Flytrap tackled him and slipping in the blood he felt his leg break. Still thrashing around he slammed his head into Flytrap's ribs a broke about six of them. He heard voices.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then all the princesses put a barrier around him so he couldn't get away, his family was shocked to see him like this especially his mother. "My sweet baby boy we are here to help you, Firebrand Snowflake let's begin the song." Star Shadow said with big mac walking up beside her, and Knuckles charged at the barrier wall trying to get at his father who is he trying to get at me?" Big Mac asked every pony looking around, that's when Holly came forward with the help of Makita and the elite guard of Celestia's. Holly walked to her uncle and looked at him the Knuckles, the family saw him stop and just watch not know what to do. 

"He thinks you are going to hurt her uncle Big mac, all because of that one over there he did thing's to me," Holly said and went up to the barrier and was humming a tune that got Knuckles to look at her, her mother came up and ask if she could help with calming him down and she nodded. Shining had come back from the medical bay and went to hug Holly, She stopped him and telling her why Knuckles was he was thee of what the general had done too her.

Celestia heard this and kicked the now mutilated and maimed General cried in pain. Knuckles heard the cry and turn then trying to get him again thinking that he went after the princess that was by her. "I'll give you a choice prison or death, but I think he has chosen your fate so go with the first choice," Celestia said and the guards went to put chains on him, Celestia like the idea and pointed out the tune Holly was humming kept him calm so do it let her help sing the song to calm him down.

"Yes it seems to work until that rapist cried out in pain, Holly, when we start singing, do not stop," Snow Flake said to her daughter and they got around the barrier, Big mac and Shining Armor were watching with keeping their distance as not to disrupt the song. 


The storm rages on

 The storm rages on

Peace, peace be still 

Let your troubled mind rest

Be at peace, thy billows cease

Be at rest, close your eyes

Please let thy heart rise 

To peace sublime


They finished and seen it had taken effect but he was trying to fight it off, Knuckles started to walk forward past his mother and past out falling and both his parents caught him."Get a medic for him now, I don't want to lose my little colt." Big mac said and a medic did the best he could, then the princesses had to put elite guards around them.

"Star they willing be his guard at the medic wing of the castle, and princesses I know im family but I think I should go to cause I'm worried about his eye," Shining said to them hoping they would not mind him doing that, they told him yes he could and when a guard got close the with a stretcher and his parents gently put him on it then his mother covered him with a blanket and princess Luna Teleported them back to the castle.

They finished and had seen it had taken effect but he was trying to fight it off, Knuckles started to walk forward past his mother and past out falling and both his parents caught him."Get a medic for him now, I don't want to lose my little colt."

Back at the hospital wing of the castle they prepped for the surgery to save his eye. Not too far down the hall the sisters and their husbands with the exception of Zephyr, "Firebrand........ where is Zephyr? Last time we saw him........he seemed distracted?" Shining Armor asked twirling a hoof.

Firebrand looked at Snowflake Obsidian then Star, she finally looked at her brother-in-law's. "I fucking don't know!! Lately he's worked a few late days.........I feel like he's got a side mare but I've got no proof. This is a time I need him most." She paused to breathe but plowed onward, "I'm pregnant with his foals damn him! I know you shouldn't care, after the wedge I drove between us all, but I need somepony and you're all the family I got." Her audience nodded silently. 

A nurse and the surgeon waled in, "Ma'am we were about to perform the surgery and we have hit a complication........we need to do a skin graft for his eye to save it from having to be removed." Star demanded to have her blood tested. They all did, except Firebrand.

"I will let you take from me! I'm a perfect match, he has the full vampiric gene and I've got fifty percent of it!! I know because I tried to kill you years ago Big Mac, that's how I know. So let's get this over with."

As she walked out with the surgeon she looked over her shoulder, "Also those with the vampiric gene can regenerate, how do you think my wounds healed so quickly? He will regenerate, but since it took so long to get medical aid, he'll be blind in that eye but they won't have to remove it." As they disappeared, Star just sat frozen when her phone buzzed.

The text was from Firebrand, "I know that you probably still hate me for driving the wedge between us  but I want you to know if I don't make.............I love you all and if you can...........find it in your heart............please I beg you to forgive me one day. Tell Knuckles, he's not a mistake!!" Star starting bawling, she forgave her sister years ago, the idea of losing her broke her heart. A solid 72 hours past when they could see Knuckles, but they had no idea that Firebrand hung by a thread for her life.  

After taking a piece of her eye, her heart rate spiked to 300bpm over a pulse 180bpm then her heart rate plumented to a mere 20bpm over 15bpm. She also was having seizures and her fever spiked to 125°F. Knuckles heard the doctor telling them the news, he ripped the medical equipment off his body and limped to Firebrand's room, the guards tried to stop but he shoved them out of his way. Star hit send on her phone. She had written a text to Capt. Makita to have his squad come for back up. Makita and the squad arrived, "Sargeant Knuckles Mac Shadow.......Attention!!" Knuckles instinctively snapped to attention, when Makita heard the news she had to be there. Knuckles was then strapped to his bed and chained to it. Lenova ran to Firebrand's room with Star on her heels.

Lenova pulled out a pace maker of her design for this situation exactly...........she built for an uncle who had died from this same occurance. But he had rejected this device the could've saved him. The doctor let Lenova attach the device, but Firebrand bit down  on her foreleg with full force. Lenova managed to get the pacemaker attached and going. A few minutes later Firebrand's heart normalized and the fever went down. While laying in her own room getting bandaged she thought how her family had dumped her..............she cried at that memory. She has a surprise waiting for her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So you're saying Makita is that Lenova, that mare who saved Firebrand's life was dumped by her parents? Dumped just because of one crime and they wanted a Celestia-damned son! Who the living fuck does that?" Star was fuming mad and she was letting ponies who walked by know that. 

" Yes Star Shadow, that's what I'm saying. That and what General Tannerite did to Holly Berry and so many mares kicked him into that rage. I need to go check my guards I left by Knuckles door and relieve them." Makita stood and walked off. Star requested audience with Luna and Celestia which gratefully she was granted.

In the large throne room Luna and Celestia sat looking down at Star Shadow with piqued interest." Your majesties, I would like to file adoption papers for Lenova........i know she's technically an adult now but she needs a family. Hers just disowned and disinherited her, so can Big Mac and I adopt her?"

Luna spoke first in the Royal Canterlot voice," Your request is a good one, we'll give you the papers for it we will have them signed but if she doesn't wish to be adopted then hold onto them in case she has a change of mind!"

Lenova was still crying when Star and Big Mac walked in. They presented her the papers and asked if she'd like being a part of their family. She leapt from the bed and hugged them both crying more than ever.

___________________________________________________

Knucles woke from a nap and found he was chained and strapped to his bed, curious as to why he looked out his open door and saw a small metal wing tip flinch slightly. "Makita is that you?" 

"you're awake, good you got a visitor. You haven't changed at all much. Tannerite has his trial soon and Lenova has been begging to see you. Do wish to see her?"

Knuckles nodded and the tech crazy mare and her bandaged leg made an appearance.

She climbed into his bed and hugged him. He spike before she could," Why the hell am I chained to a bed? " Lenova smirked before she answered. 

"The nurse asked what you liked and we told her you liked BDSM........" Knuckles recoiled and looked shocked to say the least. "Joking with ya, geez can't ya take a joke? Anyways I'll be with you on Heart's Warming Eve." more confused than ever his parents walked in.

Star showed Knuckles the papers for Lenova's adoption. Knuckles threw his forelegs around Lenova's body and hugged her tight. "Still doesn't explain why I'm chained to a bed."

"Firebrand was in bad shape and we were afraid your rage would kick in again when the medics and doctors and the whole medical staff tried to stop you so we got called in by your mother..............our mother for back up." 

___________________________________________________

a few weeks past and the whole squad and Knuckles family joined his side as they buried Tannerite's murders rape victims. They were given a hero's funeral complete with a 21 gun salute for every mare. Sunrise leaned against Holly and cried as they said goodbye. Strawberry for them was the hardest because they knew her the best and she tried so hard to stand up to Tannerite's abuse when he mauled Sunrise.

after the ceromony Knuckles was "sentenced" to bed rest for his recovery and HIS PTSD fits. Flytrap was soon. his room mate and his ribs were still recovering.

___________________________________________________

General Tannerite's trial came and his maimed and mutilated being sat in chains and he was so smug it made the jury squirm. He suddenly felt fear when the first witness was called. The it was Sunrise and she told how he'd beat her and how she was physically abused and showed every scar on her body and even told about their hell hike and how many times he beat her on that hike and dragged her body along the trail for the last four hours. Holly Berry told everything he did to her involving her rape and how that had her broken down enough that his son who was now dead could make an easy rape victim out of her and what they made her say before they stopped raping her. Any other mare he raped came to the stand who didn't go on that murder mission because they had left the army or other ways. Holly requested again on the stand told about how the general bragged about his trophies that he had and cockburn as well. She told about Knuckle's rage and the carnage he wreaked on the base. At the mere mention of Knuckles the ex-general suddenly sat upright and had the look of a mare about to be raped.

Holly was able to leave to go check on her family namely Knuckles. When she saw that her cousin was doing okay and hearing the news about Lenova made her happy.

News soon reached them that when Tannerite was being taken to prison the mothers of the murdered mares intercepted the police and Tannerite and fired their daughter's pistols into his body. As he had hit the ground from the wounds the mother's of Strawberry and the mother of the lone survivor, Sunrise her Foster mother had deadly their shots landed right in his heart. Shining Armor sent a letter to a police friend of his to see if Knuckles could get a job and also his squad but Knuckles was left in the dark not knowing his squad was getting an honorable discharge.

Shining Armor sent a letter to a police friend of his to see if Knuckles could get a job and also his squad but Knuckles was left in the dark not knowing his squad was getting an honourable discharge.

__________________________________________

The entirety of the squad was summoned to the throne room. Makita looked over her shoulder as she was about to open the large doors, "Whatever happens in there, I'm proud to have met all of you. Also let me do all of the damned talking." they all nodded silently.

They walked in, the whole military council was there, Luna and Celestia sat on the dais looking down at them; Ljna had a look of disapproval, Celestia frowned. Luna spoke first," Captain Makita of Alpha 1 of the 101st division special ops, you're here because of insubordination and disobeying direct orders! You and your squad are hereby disbanded and you're to be Court-Marshalled. What do you have to say for yourself and your squad?"

Makita stood tall, looking at the council and the princesses, "I do not regret my choice wholely, perhaps I should've gone in alone. But one cannot ignore the very fact I saved two lives out of the twelve sent out to be killed by the late General Tannerite! Remember council members and my majesties you recruited me from a mercenary band that you arrested for treason and my skill was tactical extraction, I did what I vowed in my oath when I enlisted, to protect my country at all costs. If you want to terminate then so be it, but let this be known my squad followed my orders." Makita shut her mouth and glared at the council, she could tell they were split.

(Sentenced) 

" Captain Makita for your insubordination the council puts forth the motion for your execution, death by firing squad!"

Makita sat down and wept, was this how her life would end? She felt so small now, her memories played through her and the memories stored in her body's memory hard drive Lenova had installed. All those ponies she had helped overcome their inner-problems all climaxed to her being gunned down just for following her instinct. A motion to her left then her right caught her attention, Lenova and Knuckles.

"Your highnesses, if Makita goes down she goes down with us." Flytrap stepped up next. 

"You'll have to fucking gun me down before you get to her."

"She is the reason I'm still alive, if she hadn't brought the squad I'd be dead!" Holly chimed in. 

"In the army, your squad becomes your family, and I'll stand by them no matter what!" said a small but confident voice. All eyes turned and Sunrise had snuck her way in and stood by their side.

At that moment the Knuckles family showed up and they were wanting to be there for their kids. 

(House Arrest) 

Celestia who had been silent now spoke, "I was waiting for you to show up. Since family ties are so important to Knuckles so his file says. Star walked up and lifted their copies of the tape videos and declared. 

"You've seen the videos and the trophies, but in this file here lists all of the members of the war council having done business with Tannerite. Transactions showing they paid him to give them mares to rape! A few of them are minors."

"As Luna and I are reviewing the new evidence, I'll be placing all of you under house arrest until further notice. War council the same goes for you as well!"

Now in his own house, he lay sprawled on the couch. He didn't get to share it with his sister because of the risk of a team break out. Knuckles listened to the radio bored to death, his family visited him often and visited his sister as well. One day winter had begun early with an early snowstorm. His family had just left, and snuggled up with a book to do some reading; it wasn't anything exciting just a family book of magic spells and tomes that was an heirloom since he as the first in the family for fifteen generations to be full vampiric bat pony. He got to the category of age altering spells when there was a frantic knock at the door. Getting up he trotted to the door.

He swung it and about to curse the pony who bothered his reading when he felt something fall on his hoof that was still on the ground. Looking down, he hastily dragged a mare through his door and grabbed whatever that bundle was she was holding so dearly until she collapsed. He quickly got the mare food and got her by the fire. And he was carefully telekinetically holding the bundle. The mare in her state was muttering about a foal. He thought she was crazy when he looked at the bundle by his side as he helped the mare eat. He frantically dropped the spoon and opened the bundle in it was the most adorable purple coloured bat pony he'd ever seen. The first thing he noticed she was blind. 

"Thank you, sir, you were my last hope. I tried my twin's house and she turned me away, and most ponies don't recognise me anymore since it been a while since I was in Ponyville. Did you..........save my filly?" 

"I had, is she blind?" 

"Blind and her back legs weren't developed fully when she was born. Her name is Hibiscus, she's............the apple of my eye and............." the mare hesitated, "the product of a rape. I could've ended the pregnancy but that's just cold-blooded murder. Her father was gunned down the other day, that bastard deserved it!" 

At that statement, he interrupted, "Gunned down? Wait her father is General Tannerite! That bastard son of a diamond dog bitch raped my cousin. My squad commander and I just took him down and the war council is under investigation and scrutiny!" He grabbed his cellphone and called his family to come back and he called Captain Hades of CPD to get there ASAP. When his family arrived the mare introduced her self. 

"Hi, I'm Vivacè Melody" his family cut her off and asked her to repeat the last name. "Vivacè Melody..........why are you so surprised?" 

Star-spoke up, "Is Staccato Melody your sister?" 

"My twin to be exact. And we didn't split on the best of terms..........I needed to tell her something important. I'm dying and I wanted to make amends before I die......." the family helped Knuckles get the guest room more suitable for a mare to sleep in. The next morning as the squad assembled outside of the great throne room, Knuckles held Hibiscus for Vivacè. When they were escorted in Knuckles noted that Big Mac wasn't there. He remembered they said he said he had something to tend to.

The trial was rough, each time their execution was demanded Makita vehemently each time said that she'd take the full punishment. Then Big Mac strode in gently guiding Staccato in.

"I'm not going in there, I can't face vivacè after last night!"

Knuckles turned to see what the commotion was about. In a short matter of time vivacè and staccato stood nose to nose.  "Staccato I came to you last night because I'm dying and I need a somepony to care for my little filly."

"I'd be more inclined sister if you hadn't gone out drinking as I told you! Especially not with some stallion you don't know and you got raped!"

"How the fucking hell should I know he was planning to rape me?"

The argument went for a solid forty-five minutes when Knuckles slammed his hoof down and his deep voice bellowed, "enough damn it!" and as Staccato for a moment and realised her sister was breathing was getting slower quickly hugged her and whispered. 

"Sorry, sister for treating you like I have. Forgive me please, I beg you!" Vivacè shivered and fell limp. 

Knuckles knew what he must do:


"Oh, thou that dost move on,

Let me I pray to gather those

Who needs another chance

Give them the gift of lore

Give them a second chance

For redemption for them to have

I here today, at this time do proclaim

A second chance thou shalt have!

I turn you now, back to where ye came

Return thou to a foal."


"Knuckles can you that for me? And let me have a fresh start?" Staccato asked as tears going her face as it her like the Ponyville train at full steam. She had been a bitch to everypony. 

"Once your foal is born I can......." Staccato, Vivacè and Hibiscus were taken back to his home where the squad stayed the night and awoke in time to see the trial. 

Makita finally convinced the princesses that she'd take on the whole council using "Trial By Combat" the council were rather smug at the outcome, it was one mare against twelve. 

Early the next morning, Lenova had gained the access of the cameras at the Palace Courtyard shooting range where the combat was to take place. Knuckles glanced oversaw the emblems on the councils' shoulder patches. The emblem belonged to the squad with the highest kill ration in Equestrian history a total of four hundred kills confirmed. The squad was nicknamed, "Killjoys" for a reason, they were known for the most brutal kills and they occasionally would make their victims eat the flesh of loved ones before hacking them to death with hatchets. Lenova hacked Makita's comms system and Knuckles screamed softly as Hibiscus was in his arms, "Makita!"

"Not now Knuckles I'm prepping for a fight." 

"Makita shut the hell and listen! You're going up against the" Killjoy" squad! They'll kill ya if they don't rape you first."

Knuckles heard Makita's voice get shaky, "Oh hell no! They're the ones who taught me years ago, I know what they're capable of................ if I die here, at least I tried to stop their perversions." Knuckles laid the fillies in his bed and quietly watched as the battle ensued. Makita was an amazing fighter and he saw brutality he'd never seen. During the fight, a council member got an electro-magnetic shackle attached to Makita so she'd be pinned to one spot. That didn't stop her much, she exhausted her body's weapon cache and she had used her full house but she had an "Ace of Spades" to play...........two m134 machine guns in her shoulders chambered for any round she wanted. She had loaded them with 12 gauge dragon's breath shotshells. And her wings had rocket thrusters still with full fuel cells. 

She kicked in her wing thrusters and flipped her guns upturn of her shoulders and flew a 360° circle. The council fled in all directions she killed eight of them right off scattering their body fragments everywhere. The other four kept a safe distance calculating their next move. Two of them got impatient and blitzed she blew their heads out of existence at point-blank range. The last two threw EMP grenades and it shut her suit down now almost defenceless the two remaining charged her and tackled her. Doing her best to fight back her wings were ripped off and the wiring sparked but at the cost of a life. Only one council member survived and he had tased Makita and she lay motionless and he was about to rape her on live television, but a blur on the screen caught Knuckles attention, that colour belonged to Sky Eye who had gone missing months ago.

He tackled the council member and went airborne again and whipping out his sniper rifle took aim after an impressive 360° spin and fired without using his scope blew the council member's body to shreds with a custom-designed round for max brutality. Makita cried in Sky Eye's arms as he freed her.

(Relief) 

Knuckles breathed relief as he saw Makita was gonna be fine........Lenova on the other hoof was hyper-ventilating she knew she built that body for heavy combat but not to that extent.

A few weeks later Knuckles was scheduled for his first rehab session. He feeling exhausted trying to keep up with two fillies and Staccato gave birth to hers, a filly as well-born with a weak heart and lungs. As promised Knuckles turned her life clock backwards. However, she told him to name her filly "Lily Shade". Now having four fillies to raise was a challenge, but he was up to the challenge and he got help from his family and he would often fall asleep with all four fillies on top of him and one usually sucked his hoof and another would manage to get to his ear and suck it.

(School Days) 

Once his fillies hit school age getting to come to eat was a headache Staccato & Vivacè fought over the brush, Hibiscus and Lilly Shade tried to brush their teeth. Once at school Knuckles never knew of the bully problems they had. 

(Bullies) 

Lily and Hibiscus sat beneath an oak tree in the cool spring breeze and they hadn't noticed that their antagonists walked up. The two pegasi colts, Blitz and his friend Lightning shoved Lily on her side and kicked her. Hibiscus tried to help and forgetting that Lily for lunch to make it more comfortable for her sister had removed. 

"Leave her alone!" 

"Or what cripple? Don't you know your just bastards to you bat pony you dad! So watch me have some fun."

Lightning whipped around and he and Blitz beat the Heck out of Lily who had a few broken ribs and she watched helplessly as they turned on Hibiscus show screamed in pain as they beat her.

"Hey, Blitz let's take turns knocking her up." Blitz had a look of lust and as they moved in, two blurs slammed the both of them and beat them senseless and running for the schoolhouse. Vivacè and Staccato laughed as the two colts ran.......more or less limped. 

Knuckles woke from a nap hearing that his fillies had an incident at school. Fearing the worse he got there and his twin fillies had been in a fight and the other two were in bad shape. He then noticed the colts and their parents. 

It was a heated discussion but Knuckles won out in the end because the colts started something they couldn't finish.

Knuckles woke from a nap hearing that his twin fillies had an incident at school. Fearing the worse he got there and they his twin fillies had been in a fight and the other two were in bad shape. He then noticed the colts and their parents. 

It was a heated discussion but Knuckles won out in the end because the colts started something they couldn't finish.

When all three mares told their part of the incident the colts countered it with, "We're just having fun! It's not like we're gonna waste our time fucking a filly whose heart and lungs take the adrenaline rush and thrill of sex. Hibiscus was asking for it. Besides if we were rape one of them Hibiscus would be easier to do, she's got only her front hooves to fight with." finally Blitz shit up. 

"Listen here punk! You hurt my girls again you'll regret it!" looking at both sets of parents, "And you, you had better reign in your boys! So help I'll make your lives a living hell!" 

Everyone stood silent and Cheerilee looked at Knuckles and spoke up. "You are related to Star.......the family genetic of aggression is there. I'll shut up now." Knuckles just stared blankly for a few moments, what his parents and aunts said about her were true. She was a tad random.

Once home Knuckles heaves a sigh, Spring break was starting and he was having to punish his daughters. He called to Staccato and Vivacè to his study and shut the door. "Look you two, I know spring break is starting and all but for fighting I'm gonna have to ground you two for a bit. I know you were what's right protecting your sisters, however I had rules set it place for a reason."

Vivacè just exploded, "Dad it's not fair! Why do we get in trouble when those Celestia-damned colts are getting off scot free!" 

Staccato threw in her two bits as well, "Damn you Vivacè! Don't you fucking realize dad almost lost us today! Granted Blitz and Lightning deserved to slapped but it wasn't dad's place!  Why do you have to be the fucking bitch to screw things up like this? Just take it and deal with!"

Vivacè's lip quivered and she ran to her room and slammed the door. Staccato froze, what had she done? She ran to her sister' a door and knocked "Go the hell away Staccato! I don't want to see you!!"

Staccato wept on the other side of the door and breathed heavily. "Look Vivacè, I shouldn't have yelled at you. There's more than you know at play than you realise, it's hard to explain but please just let me in?" The door swung open and Vivacè glared. 

"Speak up cunt!" 

Staccato told her everything she felt safe telling her about their past lives. Spring break passed quickly and the girls over that time worked on Sweet Apple Acres with their Aunt Applejack. Lily Shade did her best considering her weak Heart and lungs. Hibiscus was assigned apple sorting. The poor thing several times a day was found face in the apples, waking up at 5am and working till 6pm wore the poor filly out. Lily was in the same boat, found asleep by the cider barrels while taking inventory. Once back at school when it had started, Hibiscus was bullied non stop. Her bullying consisted of either being shoved around and a mile long run of profanity, sometimes Blitz and Lightning beat her up; and occasionally made her think she was about to get raped by those two. Being blind sucked, one time she had closed her eyes to rest outside of the school house and she could've sworn that she felt like somepony's dick was rubbing on her face and body.

Even when she and her sisters walked home and stopped to visit a friend for a few hours, she felt like they were being followed. The thought bugged her and at night she felt like looking out her window at the foot of her bed imagined some pony looking in at her. She never told her blind as she was her senses were getting sharper thanks to Holly Berry for teaching her to hone her other senses.

Hibiscus a few weeks after that sensation of being watched wore off she egot caught passing a note in class. With a three hour detention after school she had to stay late. 

Knuckles looked at his watch, Hibiscus should've have been home by now. Getting up he gave Sweetie Belle a call since they met she offered to babysit for him. When she arrived he left to go find Hibiscus. When he arrived at the school it was locked up and as he turned to leave he heard soft cries coming from behind the school. He heads around back and the sight that met his eyes enraged him! Zephyr Breeze his ex-uncle had thrown Hibiscus' harness aside and was raping her, and from the look of things he'd been doing for awhile. He charged and Zephyr pulled out a taser and tazed him. As Zephyr thought he was down he sent a text to his squad and his family praying some pony got there soon he stood up shakily and charged again. Zephyr grabbed the battered Hibiscus soaked with his semen and took her airborne. Knuckles saw Flytrap made it first from the east and Makita came in from the west. Thirty-five feet up Zephyr dropped Hibiscus. Knuckles dove as fast as his wings would just kept Hibiscus at the tip of his hoof, Makita and Flytrap gave chase, Sky Eye appeared from the North and joined the persuit.

Knuckles had to pull up suddenly as the ground now was just fifteen from his body, and he heard the sickening thud as a small body hit the ground and heard bones crack and a small cry of pain. Landing quickly he found Hibiscus unconscious and noticed that her left wing was bent at an odd angle. Rushing her to the hospital he paced, he was soon joined by his family and they all paced. Knuckles stayed by Hibiscus' bed, it had been six days and he hadn't slept. He felt a mountain of guilt, why the hell couldn't he have flown faster? He heard the hoof steps of a pony entering the room, they ahd a very distinct metallic sound; soon Makita stood by him and she told him the news about Zephyr.


(Zephyr is no More)


Zephyr flew to his apartment and locked the door, and loaded a shotgun. The moment Sky Eye and Flytrap got there Makita came crashing through the skylight above their heads. Flytrap and Sky Eye thought that whatever she did she looked hot, like really hot. Finding the door locked Makita kicked it in, and was met by three rapid shots from Zephyr. As Makita flew back she managed to land her hind legs against the hallway walland push herself through the door and picking a low caliber pistol round for the gun that flipped out from her wrist and fired rapidly at Zephyr, who had no foresight to pick a spot to shoot from that Makita couldn't Blitz with ease. Zephyr hit the the ground with a thud. Searching the apartment the 3 pony team and the medics recovered two changeling fillies chained to beds and a third in the dumpster after it had by been raped senseless and near death and all three were malnourished to top it off and were afraid of any male pony.


(Hospital) 

Knuckles ordered mare staff for his daughter and the three changeling fillies and the princesses were summoned and Knuckles began the paperwork to adopt all three. He was interrupted when he was brought to his daughters room and her heart had stopped. 

"Damn it Doctor Artery! I fucking told you this defibrillator was going out and its power is not up to standards!" 

"Shut it Redheart!" Knuckles was scared and he began to cry when he realised that Hibiscus may never get to grow up. Suddenly a commotion caught his ears, looking up he saw Makita shoving ponies outnof the way. 

"Get the fucking hell outta my way!" 

Makita wired the defibrillator to her cyborg body and sent all of her body's power through the defibrillator. She crashed to the floor and nothing seemed to change. Suddenly the heart monitor started to make a consistent beep.......beep.......beep. The beeps were slow at first but got  stronger and more consistent. Knuckles rushed in to hug his dear filly then he realised it cost Makita dearly.

"Stay with me captain!" 

"Private let me die a warrior. There's no spell that can save me." Knuckles was discharged with an officer rank of Sergeant and he quickly dialed Lenova and told her to drive her corvette as fast as it would go ASAP! He carried Makita into the parking lot and found a Bugatti Chiron he hefted the heavy mare into the passengers sat and buckled her in and he bypassed the governor for the vehicle and gunned it. Lenova called saying she got delayed, Knuckles stilled gunned all sixteen cylinders and he saw red and blue lights in the rear view mirrors and he saw that a timer on, Makita's body read forty-five minutes he pulled over in a rage, the cop was being a bitch looking around hopelessly he saw a nuclear power plant. He sped through the gates and as he was trying to hook up his captain to an industrial generator, he felt like a perv having his hooves all over Makita's body trying to find ports to plug into. Knuckles angrily answered his ringing cellphone.

He froze, Hibiscus was in a coma! Torn between being there for his daughter and trying to save the life of the one who gave her a fighting chance. Makita saw the inner-turmoil in his mind and heart.. "I once was where you are now, but with a younger sister years ago, go your family needs you."

"I'm not leaving you here to die alone Damn it!" 

"That's an order Knuckles Mac Shadow!" he was surprised that Makita remembered his full name. She latched on two of her hoof rockets and sent him toward the hospital when he landed there and got to the room, his whole squad and family were there. Everypony noticed he was distracted, Star Shadow walked up and sat beside him. 

"Son, what's eating you?" 

"Makita is out there probably dead now, and Hibiscus is in here hanging onto life by a thread.........a thread Makita gave her. Every once of power that sleek cyborg body of hers had and Lenova is stuck in traffic.........if I had flown faster and saved Hibiscus from hitting the ground, Hibiscus wouldn't be in a coma and Makita won't be dying alone! "

Knuckles broke down and cried his heart out. 72 hours had passed and Knuckles screamed for joy Hibiscus was waking up and he cried still, for joy and sadness that a legend had to die alone. 

"On your hooves damn it! Quit crying like a little foal!" turning his head a pillow hit his face squarely. Before him stood Makita, leaning against the door frame. Knuckles lay Hibiscus down on her pillow and Knuckles tackled Makita in a hug.

"Thought I lost you. But how are you alive?" 

"After I launched you, I crawled to the car drained its power which gave me fifteen extra minutes I crawled to the generators and hooked my self up. So here I am." Knuckles couldn't contain himself in the moment, and having the mare who helped so many still kicking, he kissed her in the mouth. Makita just rolled with it and returned the kiss with a passion..........first kiss she's had in years. When broke up the kiss it was awkward for a moment. When Hibiscus woke up fully she asked for Knuckles.


(Date Auction)

Knuckles was talking to a certain white unicorn nurse with a dual tone pink mane who was on the floor playing with his fillies, he had to finalise some adoption paperwork and so she baby sat. The four pony siblings looked at their new sisters.........three changeling fillies. "I saw one of your old squad mates today, a dragon named Sapphire I think her name was anyways she's flying with the Wonder bolts."

"Not surprised there, she was great in aerial combat, her dives were flawless and her maneuvers were as sleek as she was.........."

"I'm assuming your talking about body? Out of all the dragons I've seen, she was sleek.........and coming from me kinda hot if I wanted to go that way." 

As they talked Knuckles had noticed that an auction for eligible bachelor stallions was being held for charity and Flim and Flam were running it. For some reason gut instinct told him he was a let of the fiasco. Shrugging off the feeling he and his seven fillies walked Sweetie home. Watching Demeter, Tethys, and Coeus interact with their pony siblings was adorable. No matter how hard she tried Coeus tried to act more mature but when no pony else was watching she'd tackle her nearest sibling.

Iliciting laughter from Sweetie Belle and Knuckles. As Sweetie Belle stepped into her home, she offered the fillies a treat for being so well behaved. Knuckles felt a tad awkward when he asked cuz his fillies were staring up at him and Sweetie. "So...........ummm..........wanna catch sometime?"

"I'd Love to, in fact how 'bout tomorrow night? Also go to that auction and see what it's like?" 

"Sure, why not it'll be funny seeing those mares bid on the stallions and the those lads looking all awkward." 

They went their own ways and the fillies began to run when they reached the sidewalk leading to their door. He wished he knew how to help as her siblings booked it she tore after them  the wheel on her small harness clicked in the grooves in the pavement. He knew he had to do something super nice for Holly for teaching her how to utilize her other senses. The next afternoon his fillies were all over the place trying to help him prepare for his date.

"Dad, is Sweetie Belle your special somepony?" 

Looking at the dark skinned changeling with her expressive cyan eyes. "No Demeter she's not, I wish she were ; but I wouldn't be surprised if she has a line of stallions going after her. I don't have much to offer her. I'm not rich like her family..........." he was interrupted by all the fillies at once.

"Dad!! You more to offer her than some of ponies wanting to date her!" 

Staccato's voice dominated as she got her siblings quiet. "Dad, you got a kind heart to offer her. I should know better than any pony. You saved all of us from horrible fates. One day a mare will see that. You're the perfect stallion for some kind mare..............like Sweetie Belle." 

The fillies scattered so quickly that Hibiscus stood shell shocked as a large soft plush pillow bounced off her tiny muzzle. Star Shadow showed up to baby sit her granddaughters. As Knuckles left, he had nagging feeling that his mother had planned something because she wanted to know all of the details of their date. He drove his suv to pick up his cute date. Sweetie trotted out and climbed in. As he was promising Rarity to have her home on time and as they pulled away he saw Rarity had that same smug expression like his mom had.

They went to a nice restaurant before going to the auction. The waitress brought them out their appitizers and told them that their meal had been paid forward and the ponies who paid didn't want to be pointed out. Shrugging they ate, Knuckles finished his soup and started feeling woozy. He hit the floor with a thud. Star walked up with the fillies, "Perfect, now Sweetie go and use my car and the fillies we'll have him at the auction in time." with a slight whistle Shining Armor, Big Mac l, Snowflake Obsidian, & Firebrand appeared and helped Star load Knuckles into his car and they drove him to the auction. Firebrand was being very cautious because she was due soon. Knuckles woke up half hour later with a slight headache. Looking down he saw he was now in a fine suit and looking closer it was the same suit Rarity had been working on earlier. Looking around he saw Makita, Lenova, Sapphire and his old army squad smirking. "You're a complete package...........with some.........nice equipment." He stared at his sister Lenova realizing that she either put the suit on him or helped out and saw his "equipment" he felt awkward now. As they filed out he heard his name being called to come on out. Very confused at this point he stepped out onto a stage and saw he was on the auction block. He saw Flim and Flam, and looking at the crowd he saw his whole family and squad. He saw his uncle and dad exchange bits; and he saw his squad had bet on something as well for they gave Shining Armor bits as well. 

"Ladies and gentlecolts , we give you ladies a fine specimen of strength and he's a war hero he good-looking and easy on the eyes. We present to you Knuckles Mac Shadow, bids will start at 1500 bits." Surely he was worth more than that bids climbed to 30,000 bits when Hibiscus started crying. Knuckles walked off that block ignoring Flim telling him to come back. Knuckles bent over and picked up his daughter and carried her back to the block with the other three following close behind his changeling daughters stayed put. Demeter told Coeus and Tethys to behave.

Some mare mare in the back screamed out, "35,000 bits!" 

Sweetie had been silent until now, "39,000 hits." Mares starting bud violently, Knuckles felt embarrassed that mares were behaving like this three were escorted out by Makita and Shining Armor for physically fighting. Bids climbed higher and higher they hit 100 000 bits when Tethys screamed and came running up crying in terror, she leapt on to the platform and slid her small figure under his much larger frame; Demeter and Coeus had booked it as well. Confused they pointed toward a pegasus that had the same color as Zephyr Breeze but he was with his family his own filly asleep in his arms. 

Knuckles got the cue, looking down he picked up Tethys and told her that the pony who hurt her will beablento do so again.........ever. She calmed down and he begin to silently sing to his fillies.

"Ladies, bids will commence at 250,000 hits!!" most of the mares stopped bidding at this point save for three. Sweetie Belle, and two mares who sat side by side; a silver toned mare with glasses and a silver spoon for a cutie mark. Her friend was a pink mare with a diamond tiara for her cutie mark. Sweetie groaned she was bidding against her rivals, Silverspoon and Diamond Tiara.

"We hear 650, 000 bits do we hear higher?" Sweetie was about to cry now when Star, Firebrand (who gave what she manage), and Snowflake hoofed bits to her and Big Mac and Shining hoofed bits over as well, Rairty and the squad. "650,000 bits, going once, going twice........"

"850,000 bits!!!!" Sileverspoon and Diamond Tiara walked out in a huff. When no pony made any more bids Sweetie screamed a high pitched scream because she won Knuckles. 

Makita made eye contact with Knuckles and he knew that look, it was the look that those who knew Makita saw that it read 'something isn't right' she had disappeared for a good while but when she had sjwon up again he saw Celestia and Luna by the door with a purple unicorn and a purple dragon.


(Fraud)

Eveypony listened as Celestia towered over the twin sales ponies, "Tell what Organisations were you donating the bits to after the auction?" Flim and Flam stood silent when they off-handedly said they were donating it to a Veteran's Hospital. Makita was pouring through their finance logs and numbers weren't adding up. 

"According to your logs you have from other auctions, missing 800,000 bits and from the 850,000 from Knuckles alone, and the other ten stallions who raked in 9500 bits each; so you should have recorded 945,000 nite but I calculate your short 378,000 bits. Where are they? Oh look, there's a note about cruise ship funds. " Flim and Flam turned beet red." Damn it  you two! Where are those missing bits!" Makita pinned Flam to the wall. The twins showed where they hid waht they had been skimming and logs showed they hadn't paid taxes for a back log of ten years.


(double dates ) 

After few months of dating Knuckles and Sweetie had grown closer. Under duress and insistence Sweetie convinced Knuckles to schedule rehab sessions. She helped him get his leg back to the way it should since he broke a year and a half ago. Nurse Redheart had live stream of their sessions and the families saw how close they were getting and it was cute. 

One day Flytrap and Knuckles went out to get coffee. "Flytrap what's happened to you? You've changed, five hot mares just walked by and you haven't made one crude or crass comment, and the harassment complaints have stopped, so what happened?"

"Hades and I had a talk while we were doing patrol together and he got a me councilor........a crazy pink mare who talks as fast as the Ponyville train. It's........Pinkie Pie, she's a legal certified PhD psychologist and has a Bachelor's degree in behavioral study type thing. So I've been telling her stuff."

"Like what may I ask?" 

"just my childhood, how mother left my dad because he was fucking eevy mare possible and got a few pregnant. So when he got bored he'd fuck my little sister. Some times he'd pay a whore to teach how to have great sex in the bedroom. My little sister Aphrodiite died when my fucking Celestia-damned dad let one of his friends fuck her. The damned stallion wnet to town with her and he fucked her up so bad and everything else he did to her that night killed her............she died by suffocation, the stallion stuffed his cock into her mouth and kept his cum going in and he also covered her muzzle so she couldn't breath. I fucking stood there video taping or the stallion was going to do the same to me." 

They sipped their coffee when they saw a stallion being extremely rude to his date, he got up and was walking away leaving the poor mare with the bill. Flytrap stood up and flew over and slugged the stallion so hard he hit the pavement really hard. Flytrap covered the bull and came back over. 

When they went to visit Knuckles parents after finishing their coffee. Flytrap was given permission to date Lenova since they saw the changes aovdr the span of a year he had become very much like Knuckles. 

Lenova and Sweetie did double dates with their stallions and enjoyed doing random bur fun stuff.   One day they were discussing the fact that lately Makita was acting off, she was acting like some pony was after her. Their dates grew sweeter and Lenova mad Sweetie and every other pony in the family seemed to be keeping a secret from Knuckles he had no idea what he had in store.

> Bonus Chapter

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------


Makita was walking along with the snow-covered streets unaware that the only threat flying above her head had an accomplice. She turned a corner and suddenly a pony grabbed her and slammed her head into the brick wall on one side of the alley she was pulled into. Her auto-aiming tech went out and her left cyborg eye went dead. With only one eye she barely caught a bat fly toward her head. She ducked and felt something slam into her gut. Next thing she knew there was an EMP grenade rolling toward her. Her body went dead again. She stood with much difficulty, her body may have been dead but it wasn't like when it had been power drained, it was temporarily shut down. She fought the best she could but she was getting weary swinging titanium limbs everywhere. After an hour she saw the two stallions step back and a third figure made an appearance.

"Makita, you were my best, pity, Celestia, stolen you from me. But since you know me I'll need you dead. Have a good day." The third stallion turned to leave. 

"Not this time Quill, you die here!" Just by sheer force Makita let loose a metal knife built into her titanium wings and the blade went flying and she missed. Makita froze and Quill tore into her and he ripped her wings off and a cleaned the alley with her unable to fight and unable to fly she let herself get mauled. As the trio left one pulled out a gun and shot her five times with armour-piercing rounds and she began to bleed out. 

Knuckles and Flytrap found themselves flying to the hospital and they could see Lenova and Sweetie speeding below them. When they arrived they saw Makita laying in the bed in really bad shape. 

Makita's heart rate was slow and her breathing was shallow. The squad looked at Makita's beat-up body. Suddenly when she woke a voice boomed in the street, looking out the window a huge pegasus stood, "Makita come out and face me! If you don't I'm coming in there and I'll kill every fucking pony in there till I get to you!!"

Makita rolled slowly out of the bed and ripped the cables off. And trudged out of the room. "Makita let us kill him, you're in no shape to fight." 

"Thanks, Knuckles" Makita turned her head to respond and a tear falling from her eye, "this is my fight, he's my demon. I killed whole families for him now List goes and end him or die trying." In a short, while Makita and Quill stood on the street, Knuckles saw a friend of his dad's Greenfield looking in admiration at Makita and her sleek lines.

The fight began, with his wings Quill used his aerial advantage and tackled Makita who hit the asphalt on a heap, Knuckles swore he heard something break. Makita struggled to just stay on her feet as she got kicked and thrown everywhere. Quill carried Makita sixty feet up and pushed to her the ground and every inch of the way his weight and him using his wings slammed Makita and she lay prone and slowly getting up. She used every weapon she had and Quill either dodged or countered in his way having a cyborg leg built like Makita's body.

Found herself pushed into a car and Quill bit down on one of ehr cyborg ears and tore it off. Makita after a few more minutes lay on her back and with no fight left, had she been in peak condition it might have been a different story. Looking into the barrel of Quill's gun she waited for the trigger to be pulled.

It never came. Opening her eyes she saw Quill fighting another pony, she knew this one it was Greenfield he hit the ground hard but he tried and saw they he had a knife wound. Quill came back to her. He straddled her frame and started pounding his hooves into her. Makita could've sworn she was gonna die that day. 

A blur caught her eye and she saw Knuckles and her friends blitzing it, Lenova wasn't much of a field fighter but with her pistol, she fired shots that distracted Quill long enough for knuckles to come at him from the air followed by Flytrap and Sapphire Quill was engaged. 

Between fighting, all these pponieshe dropped his gun. Makita grabbed it and yelled for every pony to get back as they moved away Makita fired the whole clip into Quill's body and head. As he fell dead Makita realised she had friends who'd lay their lives down for her and she didn't have to do life alone anymore. And her concern now fell to Greenfield who was in medical attention. 

A few weeks later Greenfield found out that the cyborg mare he tried to save donated every once of blood she could to save him. He still thought she was the most amazing creature he ever saw.
